Jay Ryan: Kiwi actor on his latest project The Ridge
Jay Ryan made a name for himself by appearing in New Zealand TV classics like Go Girls and Creamerie, but he's been able to take his skills overseas. He's making an impact overseas, picking up international recognition for roles in Beauty and the Beast and It Chapter Two. His latest acting project sees him returning to New Zealand shores - to star in the new psychological thriller TV show The Ridge. "I've been very fortunate to go to different parts of the world and film - and now the world's much smaller...you can be anywhere, you can live in a small part of New Zealand and still have your foot in the door for Hollywood. I've been very lucky." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whitcoulls Recommends: Mad Mabel and Perspective
Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth. An elderly man is found dead by his neighbour, 81-year-old Elsie. No one suspects foul play - until they discover that in the 1950's, Elsie’s name was Mabel, and she was the youngest person in Australian history to be convicted of murder – at which point the media circus arrives on her doorstep and the police take an interest, and she decides it might finally be time to tell her story. It’s a charming read with genuine human interest. Perspective by Shaun Johnson. He is of course the rugby league legend who has had a remarkable career on the field, and who is very interesting off it. The sheer grit and determination – to say nothing of the skills required – are extraordinary, but this is also the story of a man who ultimately felt that he was being judged on 80 minutes of football a week, and on little else and has also had to fight hard to maintain his perspective. I’m not a rugby league expert but I’m fascinated by the discipline and the pressure that he put himself under, and what it takes to survive it. It’s a really good read.
